Turbo!

 

[giga]

Damn Ethiopia killing Kenya.

 

[FlashbladeGAF]

DAYUUUUUMMMM!

 

[Brinbe]

That was an awesome race... props to anyone even finishing that shit. Fuck!

 

[- J - D -]

Damn she turned on the boosters.

 

[Levyne]

Dibaba not messing around. Damn, just played them for fools.

 

[sangreal]

that's bolt level trolling

 

[BaronLundi]

Woah. Dibaba is a beast.

 

[Adamm]

25 secs slower than Olympic record =/

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

Such a troll win over GB by France in BBall , so delicious.

GB had a basketball match? Huh.

 

[Sviatoslav]

25 secs slower than Olympic record =/

It was a tactical race. Happens often in major distance finals.

 

[HoodWinked]

dibaba just rubbing it in with the afterburners

 

[Hoo-doo]

This must be one of the most impressive displays of pure stamina available.

 

[BlackGhost]

That was crazy

 

[Levyne]

I had a feeling she was holding back when she moved from 4th to 2nd next to the Kenyan and glanced at her with a big smile on her face.

I'd go back and image it but lol NBC "live only"!

 

[mokeyjoe]

GB had a basketball match? Huh.

Having watched a bit of both this Olympics I reckon handball>basketball.

 

[Brazil]

This must be one of the most impressive displays of pure stamina available.

This is not the Marathon.

 

[PaulLFC]

She doesn't even look out of breath! Amazing.

 

[Knoxcore]

I'm so confused, how can a decision like that happen?

It's been happening over and over again these games. There needs to be major reform in the sport.

 

[Juicy Bob]

I really like how there are some events where African nations are simply untouchable.

 

[GJS]

lol, shitty boxing decision.

The USA got robbed.

Typical shitty amateur boxing decision, even with the new scoring.

They are scrapping it again for Rio 2016 and also letting pro boxers compete.

 

[Threi]

Those africans man...jesus.

Mad respect.

 

[GimMick]

This depress me that she can run faster than me at max speed after running almost 10km :lol

 

[weekend_warrior]

Damn, she ran 6 miles in 27 minutes.

 

[FlashbladeGAF]

I had a feeling she was holding back when she moved from 4th to 2nd next to the Kenyan and glanced at her with a big smile on her face.

I'd go back and image it but lol NBC "live only"!

add text to the gif

like "This is considered walking for me. Wait til we get to the last 2-3 laps"

 

[killer_clank]

Lord Coe has truly played a blinder in organising these games IMO. Everyone has moaned at some point about it but I think we'll all say we're incredibly happy we had the Olympic Games when all's said and done.

 

[Dance Inferno]

How do they have the energy to do a victory lap after that? Gatdamn.

 

[MasterShotgun]

Where did that come from?! It's like she started running for her life all of a sudden. Impressive as hell.

 

[Monroeski]

What is it with kenyans and being incredible at long distance running? Is it their genetic makeup or their ridiculous training?

I've read in a few places that most of the Kenyan runners actually just come from one tribe, the Kalenjin, that accounts for ~10% of Kenya's population but ~75% of their distance runners.

Here's one article, for instance.

 

[Levyne]

I like the Keynan flag. It looks sharp.

Ethiopia reminds me of Blimpee

 

[DemonNite]

gotta go fast

 

[perfectchaos007]

Typical shitty amateur boxing decision, even with the new scoring.

All boxing needs to be eliminated from the olympics. It's way too corrupt. Hell I would rather see MMA as an olympic event than a fixed boxing match

 

[Shadow780]

I wonder how many commercials NBC can squeeze through that race.

 

[Kurtofan]

Ethiopia reminds me of Blimpee

Those are the Pan African colours

 

[perfectchaos007]

Damn, she ran 6 miles in 27 minutes.

I run 2 miles in 17 minutes. If I was somehow able to keep that pace, it would convert to 6 miles in 51 minutes. lol

 

[Levyne]

I remember having a hard time running a mile in under 9 minutes. So bad. I did run it at 7 something once.

 

[HoodWinked]

I wonder how many commercials NBC can squeeze through that race.

comcast raining in cash with the influx of commercial revenues with olympics beating expectations in viewership.

 

[theignoramus]

someone get a screenshot of Dibaba smiling just as she passes Kipyego.

 

[Kurtofan]

GB had a basketball match? Huh.

The women.

 

[Kikujiro]

All boxing needs to be eliminated from the olympics. It's way too corrupt. Hell I would rather see MMA as an olympic event than a fixed boxing match

Boxing on all level is a complete joke, they have to erase everything and start from scratch, but you know it won't happen since there are people who make big money thanks to the corruptions.

 

[fizzelopeguss]

Britain, germany and france should form a Ménage à trois and pwn all of these pretender colonials.

 

[duderon]

Expect the same thing in the mens competition, maybe Morocco might join them.

Nope, expect GB and the US to represent in the men's 10,000m.

Also, to show how far ahead the East African's were, all three of the US women had personal bests in the race.

 

[PaulLFC]

Jess is 1st in the Heptathlon after 4 events. KJT has moved up to 14th.

 

[Hindle]

I think I'm in love with Jess Ennis, she is something else.

 

[Withnail]

Dibaba was amazing. What an athlete.

 

[Juicy Bob]

I think I'm in love with Katarina JT.

Shame about her Scouse accent though.

 

[Sky Chief]

I've read in a few places that most of the Kenyan runners actually just come from one tribe, the Kalenjin, that accounts for ~10% of Kenya's population but ~75% of their distance runners.

Here's one article, for instance.

And that tribe is so good because over thousands of years they have become perfectly adapted to living and running at high altitude. The fact that they come from a temperate, high altitude region is what makes them ideal long distance runners.

 

[Hoo-doo]

I think I'm in love with Jess Ennis, she is something else.

You could probably crack walnuts on her stomach. Those abs!

 

[Wafflecakes]

Any interesting events left today?

 

[Good Job Bob]

I think I'm in love with Katarina JT.

She's great, much better than old hat Ennis.
